Yockey Back in the Mix

Level 8
Bryce Yockey
Bryce Yockey

Seven Card Stud

Viktor Blom: XxXx / 9AK folded on fifth
Rom McCormick: XxXx / 3 folded on third
Bryce Yockey: XxXx / K77

Bryce Yockey had dropped to a short stack and survived thanks to a seven-high straight in Seven Card Stud to essentially double through Ashish Gupta. Tom McCormick then limped in and Yockey completed, Viktor Blom called and McCormick folded.

Blom check-called on fourth street and then folded fifth against a bet when Yockey paired his seven.

One table over, Ryan Hoenig was spotted on his way out with the chips being pushed to Kane Kalas.

A Rare Razz Chop

Level 8

Razz

Ashish Gupta: XxXx / 4x7x8x9x / Xx
Aaron Kupin: XxXx / 4x8x9xQx / Xx
Tom Mccormick: XxXx / Ax6xQx - folded on fifth street

Action picked up on fifth as Gupta led and Kupin called before McCormick folded after a long tank.

Gupta led sixth before seventh street checked through. Gupta tabled Jx10x3x in the hole for a nine-eight before Kupin revealed 10x7x3x. It took a moment before the players realized that it was a chop, as both were playing 9-8-7-4-3.

Volpe Gets Full Value

Level 8
Paul Volpe
Paul Volpe

Jesse Lonis raised on the button and was three-bet by Paul Volpe in the small blind. Gus Hansen called cold from the big blind and Lonis called as well for a bloated three-way pot.

Volpe continued for a bet on the A25 flop, which got a fold from Hansen and a call from Lonis.

Lonis called bets from Volpe on the J turn and 7 river and Volpe turned over A2 one-by-one for two pair.

Lonis showed he held an Ax and mucked — awarding the pot to Volpe.

Engel Gets Some Chips Back

Level 8

Razz

Clayton Mozdzen: XxXx / 9x7x2x2x / Xx
Ari Engel: XxXx / 2x5x3xKx / Xx

Ari Engel bet all the way from fifth to seventh street and was called by Clayton Mozdzen, who had a pair of deuces showing as of sixth street. Engel tabled the Jx7x6x for a seven-six low and that won the pot. Leading the way on his table are John Hennigan and Kane Kalas by some margin.

Ahmed Hits the Rail

Level 8

Limit Hold'em

Owais Ahmed raised from under the gun, David Oppenheim three-bet from middle position, Ahmed four-bet all-in for 16,500, and Oppenheim called.

Owais Ahmed: Q9 All in
David Oppenheim: 1010

Ahmed was behind the tens of Oppenheim but had one over. The J72 flop offered no help to either player as the board ran out 32 and Ahmed was sent to the exit by Oppenheim.

Baker Loses a Bunch on Second Bullet

Level 8

Omaha Hi-Lo

On the river of a A75K7 board, Nicolas Milgrom bet out of the small blind and Andrew Yeh raised in the big blind. David "ODB" Baker on the button called and so did Milgrom eventually.

Yeh tabled his AAK8 for aces full to scoop the high, while Milgrom's Q1042 pipped Baker's A743 for the low.

Flush for Tong

Level 8

Limit Hold'em

Brian Rast raised from under the gun and was called by Kristopher Tong in the hijack. In the small blind, Philip Sternheimer made it three bets and both opponents called.

On the Q53 flop, Sternheimer led with a bet and both Rast and Tong put in the call.

The 9 turn checked through to the 4 river which saw Sternheimer lead again. Rast quickly folded before Tong announced a raise and Sternheimer immediately called. Tong revealed 86 for a rivered flush which was good as Sternheimer mucked.
